Hasslefree Miniatures Newsletter

Some bits and pieces from the guys and gal/s? at Hasslefree Miniatures.

25 Sleeps 'til Christmas!
A joint newsletter this week, aren't you all lucky!
We'll let you all try and work out which bits were who
(Hint, Sal's will be the parts without bad puns and sarcasm :) )
This time around we have a 'lot' to say so bear with us as this may be a doozy of a newsletter. There's some excellent New Releases up first, then make sure you read the info about the ever popular 'December Bonus Time', there's some info and links to upcoming releases (including an ever popular 'name our mini' thread over onFacebook) and at the end will be whatever it is I've forgotten as usual :)
At Last, Freak & Demon arrive in the webstore!
Possibly the most awaited release this year, joining Hassle andBergil, the second pair in our Modern Battlefield Troopers line areFreak & Demon.
Freak comes equipped with a choice of Remington 870 pump action shotgun or M4A1 assault rifle, engineer backpack and cap / headset combo.
Demon is shipped with the choice of M27IAR or the AS Val, a support backpack  and helmet / shades combo.
"Bring on the Bugs!" - Akkie
Joining our newly re-organised Sci-Fi line is Akkie. Outfitted with the latest in smartgun technology, he's the perfect support trooper for our  KWS1aP Pulse Rifle armed troopers.
Any resemblance to a mini-mad regular of ours is purely coincidental!
Maxine the Marine
Maxine is .. well she's an ex ATF Marine, who now travels through Space. She's wearing bits of a suit of Powered Armour she scavenged off a ... large dead guy and is armed with a KWS2aC Carbine.
Funnily enough, she came about from a sketch Kev did with bath crayons on the bathroom wall when bathing Luke one night!

December Bonus Time is here!
Lucky old you!  It is 'that' time of year again!  So what have we got to offer you (apart from the never-ending stream of gorgeous releases over the last few months!).
Well, here's the deal!
If you have never had a goodie bag from us before then these are crammed with lots of 'stuff' from figures to bases to resin to samples ...all sorts of things.  Some things we don't even sell!
Christmas Rings in some Changes
As you may have noticed, I (Yes this bit is obviously me, Artemis) haven't gone anywhere. A few months ago I signed on to help out my friends Sal & Kev up here at HF headquarters and it's sort of stuck :)
You may also know I've had my own mini business for quite some time and doing both has sometimes proved troublesome.
As luck would have it HF were looking for new ideas, and so, via a complicated set of dark rituals and blood oaths we've come to an agreement. More details on exactly what that entails with the next newsletter but starting today the HF webstore will be getting some additional lines for your pleasure. In fact as you log on through the next weeks you may see something new each time.
Now nobody worry, they haven't sold out and the store isn't going to suddenly be full of Tyranids, Skaven, Khador Mechs and sprues of heads and legs that are 'absolutely not meant to fit on a Space Marine honest guv'nor, nothign quite so.. mainstream.'
We hope you'll like the new additions as we've chosen them to complement Hasslefree and the familial atmosphere Sal has worked hard over the years to maintain and matching the high quality you have come to expect from us.
And Finally...
Don't forget our Limited Release Christmas Mini, half of the initial run have been packed and shipped already!
Thanks all for a fantastic 2012 so far, see ya soon!
Sal & Artemis
